Drive selection memo – 3ABD00038115-D
The ABB 3ABD00038115-D is the order code for a wall-mounted single drive in Frame R3, rated 15 kW normal-use output at 27 A from a 380–500 V three-phase supply. Heavy-duty duty drops to 11 kW / 21 A for high-starting-torque loads like crushers or conveyors.
Frame size and mounting
Frame R3 is the physical footprint for this power class. Wall-mounted installation per the manual; the enclosure is NEMA 1 (indoor, drip-proof) with IP21 protection. Plan for top and bottom cable entry clearance — the drive needs free air circulation around the heatsink fins.
The normal-use 15 kW / 27 A rating is the one to spec for constant-torque pumps, fans, or compressors. Heavy-duty 11 kW / 21 A covers high-starting-torque or cyclic duty.
